Yoga is a holistic approach to health and well-being that originated in ancient India. It involves a combination of physical postures (asanas), controlled breathing (pranayama), meditation, and ethical principles aimed at promoting physical strength and flexibility, reducing stress and anxiety, and fostering inner peace and self-awareness. Yoga can be practiced by people of all ages and fitness levels and is widely recognized for its numerous health benefits, including improved cardiovascular function, increased flexibility and balance, and reduced symptoms of depression and anxiety. It is important to find a qualified instructor and to listen to your body and modify the practice as needed to avoid injury.
